Italy works on keeping both Formula 1 races in calendar

The coronavirus pandemic in 2020 made the return of Imola to Formula 1 possible and since then the track in Emilia-Romagna has been part of the calendar. The other Italian track in the calendar, Monza, is among the most popular tracks in the world and fans cannot imagine that it will not be part of Formula 1.

At the same time, more and more countries want to host a round of the world championship, although the days of “low hosting fees are gone”, as specified by Formula 1. Italian infrastructure minister Matteo Salvini is confident that the country should retain both of its F1 races.
